Announcements

Major OER initiative announced in Brazil: The Ministry of Education of Brazil has just published an ordinance that determines that all educational resources paid for by the ministry which are to be used in basic education must be openly licensed and use open format/standards whenever possible. This will have huge impact on the number of educational resources available in Portuguese for this sector. Resources will be made available in a new open-source repository. A short description of our work on the open education initiative.
